Program in the Environment
- d icelebrates 10th anniversary
Speakers, campus
events highlight
growth of program
By CHELSEA HOEDL
Daily StaffReporter
Though it may not be cel-
ebrating with 'paper hats or
streamers, one University pro-
gram is celebrating its toth
birthday this year.
The University's Program in
the Environment - an under-
graduate academic major
offered jointly by LSA and the
School of Natural Resources
and the Environment - is mark-
ing its 10th anniversary with
a variety of events throughout
the academic year starting in
September and runningthrough
April 2013. PitE is an interdisci-
plinary undergraduate concen-
tration program that addresses
environmental issues in areas
of natural science, social science
and humanities perspectives.
The program also offers minors
in the environment, sustainabil-
ity and global change.
PitE kicked off its anniversa-
ry celebration with a barbeque
on Sept. 7, which was attended
by PitE students, alumni, staff
and faculty, and featured a guest
concert by local performer Joe
Reilly. The program also hosted
an alumni tailgate over home-
coming weekend.
One signature part of the pro-
gram this year is implementa-
tion of a mentorship program
for current PitE students. PitE
held an initial event on Oct. 25
to initiate its Building Environ-
mental Awareness and Rela-
tionships program, which pairs
PitE students and SNRE student
mentors. To celebrate its 10-year
anniversary, PitE has also been
working to connect current stu-
dents with program graduates
to encourage them to plan their
future careers, according to PitE
program coordinator Kimberly
Smith.
"We have created a series of
workshops for students to start
thinking about how they can pro-
mote themselves and how to start
thinking about their experience
as PitE students," Smith said,
Upcoming events to celebrate
the anniversary include a "Grad
Schools and Gap Years" work-
shop on Nov. 28 and a lecture
with Chris Jordan - a Seattle-
based artist who's work reflects
modern environmental issues
- that the program is co-spon-
soring with the Penny W. Stamps
Distinguished Speaker series on
Nov. 15.
In February, the program
will host a Change Agents event
intended to connect art and
environmental change, with
guests ranging from photogra-
phers to storytellers to journal-
ists, who will lead workshops on
how they use their mediums to
effect change.
Smith said PitE has grown
more than expected in the past
10 years, adding that the origi-
nal estimate for program par-
ticipants was about 50 students,
but the program now boasts
about 600 students. PitE has
also added several courses to
the curriculum in the past three
years that cover topics such as
sustainability and society, war
and the environment, and sus-
tainable cities.
Students can earn either a
Bachelor of Science or a Bach-
elor of Arts degree, depending
on their course choices. PitE
concentrators are also required
to fulfill a practical experience
requirement, in which they
are expected to gain hands-on
experience with issues related
to their academic courses.
PitE is also responsible for
encouraging students to apply
for the Udall Scholarship, a
national scholarship awarded
to students from various majors
who have expressed a commit-
ment to career paths related to
the environment.
Engineering senior Sita Syal
won this year's award, and said
it has opened up numerous
opportunities for her.
"We did a lot of professional
development (within PitE) and
just getting to know each other
and networking," Syal said.
"That's the best part. That and
being around all these other
students like you who want to
change the world."
